Every year on June 21, the Fête de la Musique brings millions of people together in the streets of rural towns and small, medium-sized and large cities across France. Musical events are also organized in museums, cultural centers and concert halls. Paris, of course, offers many free concerts on this day. In the Île-de-France region, and in Hauts-de-Seine in particular, there are many fine musical moments performed by amateur and professional musicians.
But what exactly is the Fête de la Musique? Once a year, on June 21 (the day of the summer solstice), this popular and free musical event invites all musicians, amateurs of all levels and professionals alike, to celebrate living music and to showcase the breadth and diversity of musical practices, as well as all musical genres.
Created by the French Ministry of Culture in 1982, the Fête de la Musique has since been exported abroad, becoming a national event in countries such as Luxembourg, Italy, Greece, Peru and Colombia. Over the years, the Fête de la Musique has invented and reinvented itself, becoming an emblematic event that we love to celebrate every June 21.
In 2024, the Fête de la Musique celebrates its 42nd anniversary! It's an opportunity to get back to basics, with a series of free concerts that are both festive and unifying. Whether on the streets, in concert halls and concert halls, or in museums, and whether classical, rock or electro, the Fête de la Musique 2024 promises once again to be a beautiful and joyful event.
